The Staples Center arena is bustling with hustle and bustle.

The Philadelphia 76ers, the first in the East, came to challenge the Los Angeles Lakers, the second in the West, with the power of 11 consecutive wins.

This season's Lakers, everyone should still have the impression that in your and my timeline, the big trade between the Lakers and the Grizzlies happened in the latter part of the season. At that time, the Lakers played much better than last season under the leadership of Kobe, Odom, and Bynum, who grew up, and the team made great progress on the defensive end, but there were still many problems on the offensive end.

The Lakers focus on the triangle offense, and the whole universe knows that Phil Jackson's triangle offense is very mysterious, and if you write a book to analyze the triangle offense, this book is estimated to be about the same thickness as Cihai.

But at the end of the day, the core of the triangle attack is the key to three points.

First, two and three people on both sides are in position, the three ends are the strong side, the main orthodox triangle attack, and the two ends are the weak side, and you can do a two-person game after a quick transfer.

Second, space, the most critical thing in the triangle attack is that the players need to be able to assess the situation and open up the right space between each other on the court, not too far and not too close. The spatial distance is determined by the fact that the passing is exactly a little faster than the running. As for how much this distance is better, different coaches have different opinions.

Third, low-post singles.

Triangle offense, to put it bluntly, is to maximize the strength of the stars in the team, especially the low-post destroyers, and use the back ability of the low-post masters to destroy all opponents one-on-one and take the lead.

And the triangle offense is varied, one side of the triangle can't be played, after the transfer of the weak side, as long as the player close to the top of the arc is slightly shifted, the weak side of the low post strong point and the outside shooting point are swapped once, the new triangle will be achieved.

Analyzing this, everyone understands why the Lakers, who focus on triangle offense, obviously have an offensive killer like Kobe. But there are still problems on the offensive end, and they can't play a strong performance. As long as interior masters like O'Neal and Gasol appear, the Lakers' offense will be revitalized immediately, and the game will flourish.

Because no matter how strong Kobe Bryant is, he is just one person, and there is no way for a person to go around from one side to the other when there is a rapid displacement in the triangle, and become an offensive fulcrum again, destroying the opponent in the low position.

One is that time does not allow it, and the other is that Kobe Bryant cannot have such endless physical strength like turning off the physical strength setting.

And O'Neill or Gasol. is another low-post strong point of the Lakers, the two are separated on both sides, and they play their own good one-on-one destruction, the Lakers are alive, and the other teams are confused.

From this point of view, Gasol is not a superstar in the traditional sense, but his fit for the triangle attack is simply heavenly. So in your and my timeline, after the mid-season trade happened, the Lakers immediately changed their appearance and made great progress. The offensive end was invincible, all the way to the finals.

At the beginning, the 76ers Lowry once again took the lead, a dragon layup after a defensive block. scored the first opening point for the 76ers. But then, the Lakers began to play with the power of their new roster.

"Bang!"

Pau Gasol hit Chen Mu with his back to the important position, turned over and made a jumper, causing Chen Mu to step forward. Suddenly, a low-handed pass was made, and Bynum cut in and scored with a dunk.

“LAKERS！！！！”

The fans were thunderous with joy. From the time the 76ers scored their first two points, the Lakers steadied themselves and responded calmly. No matter how the 76ers wrapped up Kobe, Bryant was a calm choice to pass.

The weakness of Fisher's slow speed was exploited by the 76ers, hoping to use Lowry's speed to make up for the gap after the pack, which was also seen through by the old and spicy Lakers, Fisher no longer stuck to individual shooting after taking the ball, but quickly came to the weak side to form a new triangle and handed the ball to Gasol for processing.

Pau Gasol, probably the league's favorite non-jumping male player to dunk, showed his superb basketball IQ in the face of Chen Mu's increasingly sophisticated defense.

11 to 2!

The Lakers went on an 11-0 run after falling behind in the opening game, with smooth sailing on the offensive end and rock-solid defense on the defensive end, leaving the 76ers helpless.

"Speed up, speed up!"

In the media booth on the sidelines, Justin was very anxious, and he came with the team full of worries this time. But after the team's first defeat to the powerful Suns, the mentality changed, and I felt that a miracle was just around the corner, and my heart was much higher.

But the Lakers gave him a head start, unlike the Suns' endless fast play, although the Lakers' offense was strong, they fought positional battles. The purpose is very clear, that is, to suppress the 76ers' rapid offense and defense, and not let the 76ers play their familiar rhythm.

The strategy was undoubtedly successful, and with Justin yelling to speed up, where would the 76ers players not understand? However, on the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant is everywhere on the defensive end, not seeking data, but only limiting the momentum of the 76ers' rapid counterattack at the first time. As long as the three highs on the inside line come back and fall into positional warfare, the 76ers will be very difficult to fight.

What to do?

Kyle Lowry controlled the ball and advanced, the Lakers' defense was very targeted, and he couldn't speed up smoothly at all, looking at his teammates who looked helpless about this defensive strategy, he was very anxious.

In terms of positional warfare, the 76ers have no choice, otherwise it would be impossible to win eleven in a row. But the 76ers' method is known to the whole NBA, which is to pass and cut and run back, endlessly cover without the ball, weaken the gap in the player's individual ability, and use team cooperation to score points.

This strategy, as mentioned earlier, bears some resemblance to the glorious Kings at the beginning of the 21st century, but the 76ers' tactics can only be a weakened Princeton.

The reason is simple, first of all, the 76ers have and only one three-point shooter, and the number and quality of outside shooters can't match that Kings team. If you can't open up the space on the court, you can only play under the basket and run back.

Secondly, the individual ability of the 76ers players is a bit big different from the players of the Kings.

These two problems, with the growth of young players and subsequent transactions, will be solved sooner or later, but at the moment, it is really not enough to deal with the Lakers, who are the first in the league in terms of rim protection ability.

Basketball to Chen Mu, the core of the team was almost a difficult foul under the wrap-up of Gasol and Bynum, and after hitting both free throws, the Lakers turned back to Odom scoring a layup with the ball.

13 to 4. With a margin of 9 points, the 76ers got off to a pretty bad start.

"Beep!"

Only 5 minutes into the first quarter, the 76ers took the initiative to call a timeout.

"Substitution."

Coming to the bench, Cheeks swept his determined gaze, stretched out his hand and pointed at Milicic and said, "Samuel take a break, Darko!" ”

"Hmm."

The two people named didn't say much, Daim Potter was not a man of many words, this kind of response was reasonable, the coach asked me to go down, then I went down. There is really no good way to deal with Bynum.

Milicic, on the other hand, thinks a lot.

What a chance!

Since the beginning of the season, Milicic has averaged about 18 minutes per game, and generally played more in the first half of the second quarter and the second half of the third quarter, which are standard transition periods.

And now? The current situation is that the 76ers are taking the initiative to change, and the game has obviously not yet come to the connecting stage, which is the critical moment. If you are discouraged at this time, the game will immediately fall apart. Send yourself to the field at this time, this is counting on yourself as a rescuer!

What a great opportunity, what a good way to show yourself. The opportunity to respond to the Chinese kid, you must seize it!

Milicic was silent on the surface, but his heart was boiling with fire, and he glanced at the panting Chen Mu with his nostrils. I was very proud.

'They play back, we play back, they play triangle attack. We're also giving them a variant of the Triangle Offensive! ”

Cheeks, I have to say that this coach has indeed made great progress in the past few years of working with Chen Mu, and now he is much bolder than before in terms of deployment and substitution tactical adjustments.

Coaches, in addition to changing people and formulating detailed tactics, need to have a global vision and look at the problem from the general direction. This is something that has always been lacking in the academic Cheeks.

And after meeting Chen Mu, this magical Chinese kid, who often popped up those suggestions that seemed to be off the line, but could actually change the situation in the general direction, broadened Cheeks' horizons a lot, and the level of coaching on the sidelines rose steadily.

Last season, the 76ers made the playoffs in the face of the world's favor, and they also won a win at home with the mighty Pistons, refusing to sweep. At that time, some experts believed that last season was a key season for Cheeks to transform into a first-line coach in the league.

Now, in the face of the powerful and seemingly flawless Lakers, Cheeks has made another bold decision.

“…… High, really high! ”

Chen Mu sat on the side, pondered carefully, and suddenly realized, gave a thumbs up, and nodded frequently to Cheeks.

Ignoring the eyes of Iguodala and the others who didn't understand what was going on, Cheeks smiled slightly, "Is it really your coach to be a decoration?" ”

"Darko, after you come on the court, you play the weak side of the two-man game, the first is on the ribs, the ball is transferred and you switch positions with Andre and fall low, and then ......"

Cheeks' eyes were like knives, aiming at the stunned and talented Bynum on the Lakers bench, and continued: "Tell this little shark well, what is called an offensive genius ......!" ”

"Yes!"

At the end of the timeout, the whole team shouted, and Milicic was naturally the most hilarious one, and he shouted very energetically.

Low-post singles, comprehensive and precocious offensive skills, good strength and height and reach, this is his strength, and it is also the reason why he has the ability to beat Anthony, Wade and others and become the eye of the super platinum generation.

Bynum is also a high player, and his physical talent is still above Milicic, but attacking skills and on-court experience?

Hmph, do you really think I can't beat you? I just don't have a chance!

"Get on the field, them!"

Milicic shouted and raised his fist, causing the other players of the 76ers to be stunned, I don't know what medicine this big man who usually talks very little has taken today, how can he be so excited.

Chen Mu on the side smiled knowingly, and he already had a plan in his heart. (To be continued......)
